Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used for scalable applications that need real-time interaction between a server and the Internet users and can significantly accelerate the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and constantly provides little bits of information. For example, if a new user fills out a signup form, the moment any information is inserted in any of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is handled much faster. In contrast, other systems wait for the whole form to be filled out and one giant chunk of information is then sent to the server. No matter how small the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change when the site expands and there’re numerous users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive browser games or web-based chat systems, for instance, and plenty of companies, among them eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already incorporated it into their services.

Node.js in Hosting

You can take advantage of Node.js with every hosting plan that we are offering, as the event-driven platform is present on our cloud hosting servers and can be added to an existing shared account with several mouse clicks. After you log into your Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll see Node.js in the Upgrades section where you can select how many instances you want to get. One instance means that one app will use the platform and you will be able to add as many instances to your hosting account as you wish. A new menu will appear in the Control Panel soon after that and to start using Node.js, you will need to specify the path to the .js file that will use the platform and to select whether the connection should proceed through the physical server’s shared IP or via a dedicated IP. The controls inside the Hepsia Control Panel will also enable you to reboot or to remove an instance and to check any given app’s output.

Node.js in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use Node.js for any real-time script-powered web app running in a semi-dedicated server account, since the Node.js platform comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you can add it with just a few clicks. In case you wish to use it for multiple web sites, you can activate more instances through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel. The setup is as simple as adding the path to your .js file and selecting whether Node.js should use a dedicated IP or any of the server’s shared IPs, so you can make full use of Node.js even if you haven’t got any previous experience with similar software. Our system will also allocate a random port number that will be used to access the .js file for the specific app. Hepsia has a simple-to-navigate graphical interface that will allow you to restart and to terminate any of your running instances, to create new ones or to view your applications’ output with just a click.

Node.js in VPS Hosting

Node.js comes bundled with all Hepsia hosting Control Panel-managed VPS hosting services that we’re offering and you can activate it without experiencing any difficulty, even if you have not worked with it beforehand, as Hepsia offers an easy-to-use, point & click interface, which will permit you to do anything without any efforts. The platform can be used for as many script-powered web apps as you need, so you can get the most out of your websites by combining the power of our servers with the performance that Node.js offers. You will have to add the folder path to the .js file within your account and to select if it will use a dedicated IP or your VPS server’s shared IP and you’ll be all set. The file can be accessed using a port that our system will allocate randomly when you add a new Node.js instance. Hepsia will give you complete control over all instances and, with just one mouse click, you’ll be able to start, to delete or to restart them, as well as to view the output of each app that uses the Node.js platform.

Node.js in Dedicated Web Hosting

You will be able to use the Node.js platform with your real-time, script-driven web applications at no extra cost when you obtain one of our dedicated hosting services and pick the Hepsia Control Panel during the order procedure. The Node.js instances can be managed from the Node.js section of the Hepsia CP through an easy-to-use graphical interface, which will enable you to start/delete/restart any instance or to view the output of the app that uses it with just one mouse click. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you’ll be able to make use of the Node.js platform, as all you’ll have to do to activate it is specify the folder path to the .js file and pick the IP address that will be used to access the latter – a dedicated or a shared one. A random port will be selected automatically as well and you will see the advantages of running Node.js instantly. By combining the Node.js platform with the power of our dedicated servers, you will be able to make use of the full capacity of your applications and to get the best conceivable performance.
